I am in a similar situation. I do not drive so I am very house bound. I spend some time here on the internet and the rest is watching TV. I like the informative programs like Discovery, Research Channel, etc where I have new information to try to process.

I have an old Dell PDA that I use to play Solitaire and FreeCell. It helps me exercise my brain without overloading it. If I try to play computer games on my large flat panel display, I get very tired quickly from the visual scanning. The PDA is small and I do not need to look back and forth.

Going to the mailbox is a big event here. The boredom can be a struggle. I read as much as I can but am limited in the style of reading. I cannot read fiction because I lose track of who the characters are.

It can be quite a challenge to not get into "stinkin' thinkin' " that is or leads to depression.

I doubt I am much help but I do understand you situation. I think there are many on NT who understand.

My best to you.
